Instinctively, the cultivators looked at the cultivator who had attacked their own people in this emergency. They wanted to get angry or even retaliate, but they backed down after seeing who had unleashed the lightning.
"Escape? As long as this Heavenly Corpse is still in Shenzhou, where can you escape to?"
Completely ignoring the Golden Core cultivator he had just killed, Dao Yin Zhenren's gaze was fixed on the rampaging Tribulation Transcending cultivators in the distance as he spoke: "Everyone, if you don't want this land to be plunged into further devastation, join me in slaying this fiend!"
After a brief silence, the first to respond was another True Person: "That's right. If we True Persons are all here now and still can't kill this Heavenly Corpse, I'm afraid we'll only be defeated one by one in the future!"
"The Heavenly Corpse belongs to Yin, but we may be able to kill it with our supremely powerful and Yang-oriented thunder magic!"
"It's a pity that the Demon-Suppressing Sword of Mount Shu was taken away by that monster from the Immortal-Slaying Alliance. Otherwise, with the power of the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder, killing this Heavenly Corpse would have been a piece of cake."
Seeing the True Immortals chatting and laughing, the Golden Core stage, which had been somewhat chaotic, gradually stabilized. Immediately, the seven True Immortals surrounded the Heavenly Corpse in the center, and all sorts of lightning and magical treasures rained down, making it quite a spectacle. However, the occasional angry roars and dying wails slightly dampened the atmosphere of this "battle between good and evil".
----------segmentation----------
"It seems that this Dao Yin Zhenren is quite capable, managing to subdue the Golden Core cultivators and True Immortals below him so easily to serve him."
Lin Yi, who was watching the "battle between good and evil" in the distance, was taken aback when he suddenly heard this statement and subconsciously asked, "To risk one's life for oneself?"
"Fellow Daoist Lin may not know this yet, but the existence of the Heavenly Corpse is quite special. Although it has lost many spiritual techniques for detection due to its corpse transformation, it retains its most instinctive desire for spiritual energy. That is why it has stayed in Kunlun Mountain for thousands of years. If it hadn't been disturbed by the spiritual energy of Xihe and Wangshu, it would probably have been guarding the spiritual energy of Kunlun Mountain until the end of time."
"After being alerted and leaving Kunlun Mountain, this celestial corpse will naturally seek out the one with the most spiritual energy present... Fellow Daoist, do you understand?"
Lin Yi remained silent.
A cultivator's spiritual energy is directly proportional to their cultivation level. Just as the Golden Core stage is far inferior to the True Person stage, the spiritual energy within a cultivator who has just entered the True Person stage is naturally far inferior to that of Dao Yin True Person, who has already reached the Perfection of the True Person stage. If Dao Yin True Person had turned around and run away at the beginning, he might have been able to leave hope for the rise of this Divine Continent. However, his choice was to "slay demons and eliminate evil"—leading a group of cultivators whose spiritual energy cultivation was far inferior to his own.
However, this raised another question. Just as Lin Yi was about to ask, he noticed that Murong Tianhe had already stood up and was looking at the battlefield in the distance: "With this Tribulation Transcending stage corpse alone, I'm afraid it really won't be able to do anything against the combined forces of seven True Immortals. For the sake of safety, it would be better if you and I joined forces to complete this 'Immortal Slaying' operation. What do you think, Fellow Daoist Lin?"
"……certainly."
"Haha, fellow Daoist is truly straightforward! In that case, I'll take my leave now—"
Riding the twin swords Xihe and Wangshu, Murong Tianhe charged towards the distant battlefield, while Lin Yi, still standing in place, frowned for a long time.
"Never mind. Main God, calculate the magnetic field strength, coordinates: Kunlun Mountain main body."
【Command confirmation】
The Demon-Suppressing Sword, which had been silently floating behind him, trembled slightly. Then, under the pull of the magnetic force, it reluctantly came to Lin Yi's front. However, the latter's gaze was not on the blade, but rather on the Kunlun Mountains in the distance, which were shrouded in various colorful spiritual radiance.
"A cloudy day... is just perfect."
----------segmentation----------
"Master, I'm here to help you!"
"Tianhe?!"
Upon sensing the unmistakable aura of the twin swords, Dao Yin Zhenren's face lit up with joy. He then lowered his voice and said, "Be careful! There must be a Tribulation Transcending cultivator in front of this Heavenly Corpse. Their strength is formidable and cannot be overcome by force."
"Rest assured, Master, with the power of the Xihe and Wangshu swords, we can easily behead it."
"...Indeed, since these are twin swords bestowed by the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, they should naturally possess such power."
Talking to himself, just as Dao Yin Zhenren made up his mind, a sudden change occurred. He raised his head and looked at the sky behind him, which was blocked by the heavy corpses of the Heavenly Corpse.
A wisp of lightning crackled softly in the clouds, yet the spiritual energy it stirred was so breathtaking that even Dao Yin, a Perfected True Person, was awestruck.
"This is—oh no! Tianhe, get out of here at once—"
"laugh--"
The immortal sword, surrounded by blazing spiritual energy, gently pierced through the surface spiritual energy defenses, penetrating through the sealed flesh and bones—the body of a true person.
Looking at the Qionghua disciples in disbelief, Dao Yin Zhenren still seemed unwilling to believe everything he had seen, felt, and connected with.
"The Milky Way...?"
"Sorry, real person."
Before the magnetic field above Kunlun Mountain collided with the ground and the violent lightning-attribute spiritual energy materialized and struck down, Dao Yin Zhenren clearly captured a sentence: "Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden has long since perished."
----------segmentation----------
His eyes narrowed slightly as he gazed at the Kunlun Mountains.
"……thunder."
The endless thunder that roared from the heavens above stole away all light except for the scorching white light before my eyes.
Reversal of Spiritual Energy: Chapter 231 Reversal of Spiritual Energy (1)
"...God, detect the presence of life."
[23.7 degrees west of north, 11.9 km, one sign of life.]
A hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes, but he still used the magnetic field of the Demon-Suppressing Sword to fly in that direction. After crossing the steam ring of more than 70 degrees Celsius caused by the evaporation of snow water in mid-air, Lin Yi landed on the ground covered with charred black marks.
The residual lightning-attribute spiritual energy in the air still testifies to everything that just happened here.
Lin Yi didn't know if a real "Heavenly Court" existed in this world, but he understood that "Nine Heavens" referred to a relative height through the magnetic field of the Demon-Suppressing Sword.
Ultimately, the Demon-Suppressing Sword's ability to draw upon the divine lightning of the Nine Heavens is essentially just using the special material used to forge the blade to create a magnetic field, thereby triggering changes in the magnetic field of the "Nine Heavens"—the upper atmosphere—to generate lightning through a fundamental collision, which then pulls the lightning down to the ground.
Obviously, the "thunder" generated by human power is ultimately only the limit of human power, but the thunder generated by the rotation of the "world" itself is far from that. Thus, the "Nine Heavens Divine Thunder" that blew up half of Kunlun Mountain, evaporated the snow water within a radius of ten kilometers, and wiped out one Tribulation Transcending stage, seven True Person stage, and fifty-seven Golden Core stage (the others were killed by the Heavenly Corpse in the battle) was born.
The only regret is that the lightning bolt didn't manage to obliterate the one Lin Yi most wanted to kill.
"Ahem... Fellow Daoist, your Nine Heavens Divine Thunder is truly worthy of its name. I'm afraid even the Thunder God who controls thunder and rain in the Nine Heavens could not wield it with such skill."
As Murong Tianhe rose from the raised, circular ground, looking disheveled, Lin Yi couldn't detect any negative emotion on his face when he spoke these words. This confirmed one thing for Lin Yi, who then explained in a calm tone, "I'm sorry, I couldn't control it within that range either."
"Fellow Daoist Lin need not worry, I have made preparations before venturing into this place."
As he said this, Murong Tianhe opened his clenched palm and revealed the object that had helped him survive the devastating "Nine Heavens Divine Thunder".
"...Earth Spirit Orb?"
“That’s right. This Earth Spirit Orb was found in the Ancient Tomb Sect. I originally intended to give it to Fellow Daoist Lin to help complete this ‘Slaying Immortals’ project, but now it seems that the time is right.”
As he said this, he casually tossed the fourth Five Elemental Pearl in front of Lin Yi, who calmly accepted it.
"What should Fellow Daoist Murong do next?"
"How do we do it? Do I even need to explain?"
Laughing heartily, Murong Tianhe swept away the gloom he felt when he and Lin Yi fled the current state of Shenzhou: "Now that the 'immortals' have been exterminated, it is only a matter of time before we cultivators take the lead, diligently cultivate, and attain immortality!"
"Why don't you join me in cultivating immortality, Fellow Daoist Lin? With the current strength of the Immortal Slaughtering Alliance, we can support not only one person with five spiritual roots, but even ten. When the time comes, the two of us can storm the Heavenly Court and take the Three Realms of the Divine Continent into our hands. Wouldn't that be wonderful?"
With a gentle shake of his head, Lin Yi once again gave a clear answer: "I've already said it, this path is not for me."
It's fine to use it as an auxiliary like the Five Elemental Pearls, but it's best to forget about actively adapting to the rules of this world to cultivate immortality. Putting aside everything else, what use is it if you suddenly find yourself in a world with no spiritual energy? No matter how high your cultivation level is, it won't help.
Not every world is a world of immortals and heroes...
The same topic ended in the same way. Murong Tianhe expressed his regret once and then did not mention it again. Instead, he asked about Lin Yi's plans.
"I?"
Looking at this desolate Kunlun, the once abundant spiritual energy had been completely melted away by the lightning. It was conceivable that even if it could be restored to its former state, it would take a long time to accumulate, just like the cultivation world of this world.
"They're probably going into seclusion. Now that things are settled, there's no need for them to stay any longer."
----------segmentation----------
The development of World One—a world dominated by immortals and heroes—was not particularly surprising. With the righteous path's high-level forces almost entirely wiped out in the battle of Kunlun Mountain, the remaining low-level cultivators were powerless to stop the invasion of the Immortal Slaughtering Alliance. Apart from a few who couldn't see reality and stubbornly resisted, ultimately being wiped out, most chose to hand over their cultivation methods and spiritual resources in order to preserve themselves or their lineage.
The reincarnators of the God Space who participated throughout the process also unexpectedly got a share of the pie. After some consideration, Lin Yi also added the cultivation system as an enhancement option to the exchange list. However, due to the limited spiritual energy resources, he consciously made the exchange conditions and prices much higher than other enhancements.
Even so, a large number of cultivators quickly emerged in the Main God Space, including one who had already entered the Golden Core stage. Although he had achieved this through the accumulation of a large amount of resources, he had indirectly broken Murong Tianhe's record of entering the Golden Core stage in the shortest time in the entire cultivation world—if he really was in the Golden Core stage.
"God, world transfer, target: World Zero."
The events in the Xianxia world have come to an end. In terms of the outcome, Lin Yi was unable to uncover the true cause of the "strangeness," but it is an undeniable fact that the overall strength of the cultivation world has been greatly weakened as a result. With the reincarnators already launching an invasion, even if they were to launch a counterattack, there would inevitably be warnings. At that time, Lin Yi would be able to free up his hands to deal with it calmly...
That's the theoretical way to put it.
"...Something just feels off."
Returning to the world I was born into after a long absence, it was only when I saw everything that was once so familiar that I could perceive the changes that had taken place over the past decade in such a clear way.
For Lin Yi, the passage of time lost its original meaning the moment he obtained the main god. However, for this world that already has the laws of birth and death, prosperity and decline, it has never disappeared. Instead, it operates in its own way and according to its own laws even when it is not present, accepting what is correct and discarding what is wrong.
Looking at this world that had unknowingly become somewhat unfamiliar, Lin Yi felt an inexplicable surge of emotion.
"...Let's go for a walk."
Since it was just a stroll, he couldn't attract too much attention. He took off the outfit from the "Root" that concealed his aura, threw the demon-suppressing sword on his back onto the bed, and then used his mental power, which had no practical value in combat, to stuff the Earth Spirit Orb that he hadn't had time to deal with into the cabinet containing the other three spirit orbs and locked it. He then opened the door and stepped into the whole new world.
……
Inside the cabinet.
The four-colored spheres emitted a mysterious and dazzling light, with wisps of spiritual energy permeating them, lingering and slowly dissipating in the air...
P.S.: The capriciousness you wanted.
Reversal of Spiritual Energy: Chapter 232 Reversal of Spiritual Energy (2)
In this rapidly changing era, no one can guarantee what will happen tomorrow. Perhaps the poor will suddenly become rich overnight, or perhaps the rich will lose everything in the blink of an eye. Perhaps people will continue to live peacefully in this colorful rhythm, or perhaps a sudden war will destroy everything.
The world is full of unknowns, but it is also full of wonders because of these unknowns.
The image projected into my right eye at this moment is indeed "wonderful".
"What are you?"
"What are you looking at?"
"Try taking another look?!"
"Just try it!"
Conflicts between people are always so unexpected, they may be caused by a petty gain or by something important to the country or the nation, just as sometimes they may be caused by just a casual glance...
Lin Yi glanced expressionlessly at the crowd of onlookers. He had neither the interest nor the need to waste time on such a thing. However, the onlookers around him were different. People who had lived in a state of "boredom" for a long time would not let go of anything that could be called "interesting," even if such "interestingness" was based on the injury or death of their own kind.
Judging from the excited expressions on their faces, Lin Yi estimated that building a gladiatorial arena or something similar in this place would be just as profitable as those high-profit industries. Of course, if the animals being fought weren't beasts, the profits would be even greater...
[This plan is highly feasible; should it be listed as an option for implementation?]
"...Are you short of money?"
This substance serves as an equivalent, quantifiable exchange tool, a financial instrument that promotes the prosperity and development of intelligent biological societies. It represents currency, a general equivalent used in transactions. The quantity possessed by an intelligent individual is commonly used to measure the value created and the contribution made by that individual to society.
The supreme deity is not one of the intelligent beings in this group, nor is it required to create value or make contributions to this society.
Conclusion: They are not short of money.
"Then be quiet."
Having spent so much time together, Lin Yi had become accustomed to the God's occasional "erratic" behavior regarding unimportant matters, so he didn't pay much attention to it at the moment. He simply bypassed the "battle" caused by "looking" and went to another familiar place.
Of course, this "familiarity" is directed at Lin Yi.
The once-prosperous Golden Dragon Hotel became a national sensation after the "martial arts master" scandal, but it also became the target of public criticism because of that scandal, and fell from grace at a speed and in a way that no one could have imagined.
In the technical terms of the Zero World, that would be "bankruptcy".
It is said that the owner of the Golden Dragon Hotel at the time even tried to buy the life of the "martial arts master" who caused all of this with his entire fortune, but the result was obvious.
As time went by, not only did the Golden Dragon Hotel and the city's "underground boss" disappear, but also the rumors about the "martial arts master" vanished.
In this age of entertainment to the death, no hot topic is destined to last long, no matter how popular or trendy it may be for a short time. After the first and only appearance of the "martial arts master", many imposters who tried to impersonate him were exposed, and the public once again expressed doubts about the authenticity of the "martial arts master".
Normally, it would be perfectly fine to have the "martial arts master" reappear and demonstrate his miraculous "martial arts skills" at this time. However, the "martial arts master" did not appear. People have different interpretations of this situation: the first is that the martial arts master was wanted by the "Six Doors" - the government - and had to go into hiding in the mountains; the second is that it was all a show, and the "martial arts master" never existed.
As time has passed, more and more people have leaned towards the latter view. In addition, science has proven that it is impossible for humans to leap several meters high. Today, very few people truly believe in the existence of "martial arts masters." Even the former site of the Jinlong Hotel, which was once a well-known tourist attraction for "paying homage to martial arts masters," has become dilapidated.
More than a decade later, when Lin Yi stood here again in a different capacity, apart from an elderly man who was still guarding the place, passersby barely had time to even glance at him.
Lin Yi became slightly interested in the old man guarding the place.
----------segmentation----------
"Old man, what are you doing here?"
Looking up, Lin Yi sensed something "extraordinary" in his cloudy gaze: "Wait."
"What are you waiting for?"
"Master."
